Need help: Selling Collaboration vs Training.
Hello fellow Skool members: Iād really appreciate thoughts on my strategyā¦ I need help generating income via my community but donāt know if my strategy for my community makes sense to do so. I have a community whose existence is based solely on collaboration for a niche community of solo recruiters. NOT me offering training. I started this free community for solo recruiters one year ago and we are now at 100 people. I acquired all these people organically via LinkedIn. Iām only admitting solo recruiters and solo recruitment researchers. I am not allowing anyone to sell anything to any member in the community; Iām not sure if this is the right strategy but I personally want an ad free community so Iām assuming others do too. Initially, my intention was to provide training about how human nature impacts all aspects of agency recruitment but as I got going I realized most of the members are experienced recruiters who joined for collaboration, not training, to both share and learn what other solos are doing. So, I decided to forget providing training and pursued building the community specifically around ācollaborationā. I host 1 monthly live call on a variety of topics but Iāve notice the same 12+ join these calls. There doesnāt seem to be wider collaboration amongst other members. My sense is people may not want to pay to be part of this community until Iāve built it up significantly with a lot more members. Iām thinking the greater number of members we have, the greater information and advantages we can offer. Such as: 1. Getting group discounts on automation. We all use automation and they are constantly changing. 2. Hosting paid video calls with Q&A with big biller recruiters. 3. Offering a split job fee network - meaning a member can ask other members for help on their searches and split the fee. This can only work if we have many members because most of us work in niche areas and the greater number of members we have ,the greater opportunity for us to split fees.
